Beckenham Place Park conservation area
The Building Safety Levy (BSL) will come into effect on 1 October 2026. It is a tax on new dwellings and new bedspaces in purpose‑built student accommodation (PBSA).
Developers must pay the levy on certain building control applications or notices before completion or occupation of the building. The Council will collect the levy.
The Building Safety Levy (England) Regulations 2025 sets out how the levy will operate.
The conservation area focuses on the Grade II* listed Beckenham Place mansion and associated parkland.
The 18th century mansion was built for the Cator family and the grounds were laid out to emphasise the grandeur and status of the house and its occupants.
When designated a conservation area, this part of the park was within the borough of Bromley and included some Victorian houses to the south - hence the somewhat arbitrary boundary which cuts across the park and includes the mansion but not the homestead.
